Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer
all day.

A scientist interested in all things avian became obsessed
with the ways in which seagull biology interacted with that
of other mammalian physiology. This rather strange-minded individual
found that by feeding live seagulls to porpoises he could make
the fishlike mammals live forever. As it were, when he was out
collecting more seagulls for his nonenvironmentally sound experiments,
a lion escaped from the local zoo and took up residence in his
driveway. Upon returning and finding the lion rather docile,
the scientist jumped over the lion (bearing his cage of soon-to-be-porpoise-food)
with the intent of proceeding to his laboratory. An police officer
happening by witnessed this and immediately arrested the scientist.
The charge: Transporting gulls across a staid lion for immortal
porpoises.

There once was a pair of Glaswegians...
Who wore on their feet four Bass Weejuns.
They spoke with a lilt,
And each wore a kilt...
Which covered their lower ass regions.

There once was a girl named Ann Heiser,
Who swore that no man could surprise her,
But Pabst took a chance,
Found a Schlitz in her pants,
And now she is sadder Budweiser.

Mothers Against Dyslexia

Mike Hafele, Amery, WI

A group of Friars were behind on their mortgage payments on
the abbey, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise money.
Since everyone in town liked to buy flowers from the "Men of
God," the rival florist across town saw his business take a
tumble and thought the competition unfair.

The rival florist called and asked the good Friars to close
down, but they refused. He personally went to the abbey to plead
with the Friars, but they ignored him. He asked his mother to
ask the Friars to get out of the florist business. They ignored
her, too. So the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest
and meanest thug in town to "persuade" the Friars to close.
Hugh went over to the abbey, beat the Friars up, trashed the
shop, and left saying he'd be back if the Friars didn't close
their florist business.

Terrified, the Friars did so, thereby proving, (brace yourself),

"That Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist Friars."

BITS OF INFORMATION TO HELP YOU THROUGH THE DAY

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you
would have produced enough sound energy to heat one
cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it!)

If you fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months,
enough gas is produced to create the energy of an
atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps
out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.

A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. (In my next life
I want to be a pig!)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an
hour. (Still not over that pig thing!)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex
for pleasure. (Is that why Flipper was always smiling?
And, why isn't the pig included in this list?)

On average people fear spiders more than they do
death.

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
(hmm.....)

A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out.

The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30
times its own weight and always falls over on its
right side when intoxicated. (From drinking little
bottles of...?) (Did the gov't pay for this
research??)

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like
a human jumping the length of a football field.

A cockroach will live nine days without it's head,
before it starves to death.

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head
is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by
ripping the male's head off.

Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (In my next life
I still want to be a pig... quality over quantity!)

Butterflies taste with their feet. (Oh, jeez!)

Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.
An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain.(I know some people
like that.)

Starfish don't have brains. (I know some people like that too!)

Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles
in your face to frown. BUT, it only takes 4 muscles
to extend your arm and smack the asshole upside the head.

If an Airline that flies between North America and Europe is
called Transcontinental, would one that flew only in Europe
or North America be considered Incontinent?

Toni Mays, Hastings, NE

Everyone remembers one of the greatest persons of the 20th
century, Mahatma Gandhi. He asked nothing for himself - traveling
long distances over rough terrain without shoes while becoming
frail through a rigid diet of low calorie vegetables. Yet, he
was always ready to give answers to anyone who needed to find
more meaning in their life. Is there one word that could sum
up such a worthy man?

No, but the closest I can get is 'Super-calloused-fragile-mystic-plagued-with-halitosis'.
